“Kak, our firewood is almost enough. It's late, let's go back. Dad said he'd cook rice for us in the afternoon. I haven't eaten white and fragrant rice in a long time. I'm so hungry!” A childish voice rang out, and Hailong could not help but be a little surprised. Of course he did not know who had come, but it was certain from the voice that it was not the person from the Demon Sect who had come to capture him.
Another voice that sounded more mature said: "Sister, you ate three large pieces of yam in the morning. Where are you hungry now? You're obviously greedy."
“Hee hee, my brother knows me best. Let's go back, okay? I really want to eat rice! If it wasn't for the rice sent by Uncle Li yesterday, I don't know how long it would have taken to eat it. ." "OK, okay. Chai He's almost enough. Let's go back now. Since you love food so much, my brother will give you his portion during the day. I'll just eat yams."
“No, where I eat so much, my father always says that when my sister grows up, she needs to eat more. Our village is very poor. Look at Li Village, most people can eat every day. How about rice and steamed much stronger than us." As the voice approached, two slender figures, one tall and one short, appeared in Hailong's line of sight.
Listening to the conversation between the two sisters, Hailong couldn't help but think about the time he was with Zhang Hao before. The village is also very poor. The same situation happened before. Did ya? Tauges! how are you doing now. This time back to Lian Yunzong, I will definitely visit you. At this moment, the pair of younger sisters were already walking under the tree where the sea dragon was located. Their faces are not very nice, somewhat yellow, apparently due to long-term malnutrition. But their faces did not affect their delicate appearance. The older sister was around thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger sister was around ten years old. Heartache for no reason.
Floating, Hailong was already standing in front of his little sister at the next moment. His sudden appearance startled the two brothers, exclaimed, and retreated again and again.Due to the heavy chai and on their backs, they suddenly fell together. The older sister hugged her younger sister and looked at Hailong tremblingly.
Hailong tried to soften his expression and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. I was sleeping in a tree just now, watching you carry such heavy wood and I just wanted to help you. The pair of sisters clearly did not believe what he said, the older sister said in horror: "You, don't come here. Uncle, we have no money and no food. Let us go. If you want, I'll give you all the firewood. If you want ..., I, I'm willing to be with you, my sister is young, you can let go."
Hearing what this "brother" said, Hailong could not help but be a little surprised, and a strange feeling surfaced in his heart, he knew that the sisters had considered him a robber. "How do you know so much? You seem to be very young! I'm really not a bad person, and I'm not going to hurt you, otherwise why should I talk nonsense with you? Really true?"
The older sister muttered: "People, people are already sixteen years old, not too young, my sister is thirteen, but we are relatively small. Don't lie to us. How can there be bad people who admit that they are bad people. Parents often say that you shouldn't trust outsiders." With vigilance in their eyes, they beckoned ready to flee at any moment.
Seeing that the two sisters found it hard to believe him, Hailong had to sit on the ground helplessly, touch his beard under his jaw, and smile bitterly: "If you don't believe, don't believe. Don't call me uncle, I'm only eighteen years old, no one's older than you. I'm Hailong. How's yours?"
The two sisters looked at Hailong who was sitting on the ground, and there seemed to be no threat to them, and they could not help but become bolder. They removed Chai He behind them, and the older sister said timidly: "I, my name is Yuhua, this is my younger sister Yuping, you, you, are you really only eighteen years old? Why are your clothes torn? Did you meet the robber?" Upon seeing Hailong's clothes, the village girl couldn't help feeling pity.
Hailong smiled bitterly and said, "Yes! I met a group of very strong robbers, and they chased me for a long time, and it was hard to get rid of them."
Yu Ping poked his head out of his elder sister's embrace and said, "Then, you are truly pitiful! Come home with us, we have rice to eat today, can Ying Er share her rice with you?"
Yuhua was clearly more alert, pulled his sister, and whispered, "Pin'er, don't talk nonsense, we can't just take an outsider home, what if he's a bad guy? Who knows if what he's saying is true." Hailong Looking at them, a touch of warmth appeared in his heart, and Yu Ping's childish and kind words made him feel a little homesick. He sighed softly and said, "It's already so late, you should go home too. Let's go, or your parents will be worried. You don't have to doubt me, I'll just sit here and not move, it's, Goodbye, two beautiful sisters." He also waved to Sister Yuhua.
Yuhua looked at Hailong's sincere face and muttered: "Are you really not a bad person? Otherwise, why don't you go back to the village with us. My father is the village chief, if he says you're not a bad guy, the village will I can take you in." Hailong was tired of the tattered clothes and dirt on his body, and he also wanted to visit the village where the two girls were, to find out how he felt before. So he stood up and smiled and said, "It's okay. If your father thinks I'm a bad guy, I'm leaving soon, and I'm definitely not going to make you trouble." With that, Hailong walked up to Sister Yuhua and bowed He carried their chai and all on his shoulders. "It's not good for women to carry so much stuff. It will affect their physical development."
Yuhua refused: "It is impossible. Don't look at me thin, I have strength, even an ordinary boy can't be stronger than me. Our village is very close to here, let's go quickly."
Under the leadership of Sister Yuhua, Hailong followed them through the forest and came to a small mountain village. This small village was built on a forest, and all kinds of vegetation were planted around the village. This village was very small, and there seemed to be only about a hundred families. Of course, compared to a hundred Hailong shirts, the dresses of the villagers were considered luxurious.
Although Yuhua was young, he had an extremely fiery temper. He put his hands on his hips and said, "So what? He was a man in trouble. He was robbed by robbers. I thought he was pathetic, so I brought him back. ."
A young man in his twenties said: "Is he so pitiful? Even if he's pathetic, we can't take it! Yuhua, don't forget, now even our villagers can't get enough food, so there will be one more big living person. Zhang Kou, the food in our village is prepared uniformly. If you have one more, everyone should eat less. Where do you still have the power to work?"
Yuhua said angrily, "Yu Xie, you selfish villain, you know yourself, even though he's an outsider, but you can't let him starve to death in the forest."
During the quarrel, a middle-aged man came in with some villagers, the middle-aged man looked rather old, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Yuhua's sister. Hailong knew that this must be the father of Yuhua's sister, the village chief here. Sure enough, when the middle-aged man approached, all the young men of the village gave up, and the young man named Yu Xie hurriedly said, "Village Chief, Yuhua brought back a savage from somewhere, and, what'd he say? He was robbed by robbers, he doesn't look like a good guy! You can't bring him in."
The village chief glanced at Yuxu and walked to Hailong's front. Hailong was nearly 1.8 meters tall, slightly taller than the village chief. He smiled and said, "Hello, village chief, my name is Hailong."
Village chief Yu Que looked at Hailong from top to bottom, and was secretly shocked. Although the man's clothes were worn out on the surface, he vaguely revealed a strange temperament, and he was as amazing as a mountain looking up. Yu Que knew that this person was in front of him. It must have been amazing, frowning and saying: "Our grandchildren will never accept people of unknown origin. Please go. Yuxiao, go and give this brother a bag of sweet potatoes."
Yu Xiao was stunned and said, "Village chief, our food is also very limited! Xia's seed had just been allocated to the ground, and it would take a long time until it matured."
Yu Que rolled his eyes and said, "If you are told to leave, you will leave. Where did all that shit come from. You are the village chief, and I am the village chief?"
Yuxiao's facial expression fluctuated for a while, and then he left reluctantly. Hailong put Chai He on his back on the ground Ever since their father appeared, Yuhua's sister did not dare to say anything and stood with her head lowered. Seeing these poor villagers, Hailong did not blame them for not accepting them at all. Everything in front of him was very similar to the small village on the western border where he was! The same depravity, the same destruction, and the same simplicity. Raising his head, Hailong looked at Yuhu and said, "Village chief, yam is not needed. I still have some food in my body. However, my clothes were too tattered. Can you let me wash and help me? I'll do it. give you clean clothes, of course, I won't ask you anything, I can exchange food."
Yu Que thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's okay. There is no need for anything in return, but you should leave us as soon as you take a shower. Yuhua, go and bring a set of my clothes for this brother. "
Yuhua glanced at Hailong helplessly, agreeing, turning his head and running into the depths of the village. Under Yu Que's leadership, Hailong followed him to a small river on the other side of the village. The water was as clear as when Hailong met Mo Kui, and the silver bell-like murmur gave people a feeling of relaxation and calm.
After a while, Yuhua came up with a set of common clothes, Yuhu led the male villagers to surround Hailong in the middle and let her bathe in the river, she said, while Yuhua's sister remained outside and waited. As the dirt on Hailong's body gradually disappeared, the shock in Yu Que's eyes became increasingly intense, and the silver glasses on Hailong's chest made him feel shocked. Yu Xie even showed greed. The skin of the Sea Dragon glistened and glistened, without the covering of dirt, its strong body looked extremely strange under the sunlight.
"Well, it's really comfortable to take a shower. The village chief, thank you." Dressed in dry clothes, Hailong felt his entire body slightly relaxed, and he combed his thick black hair to the back of his head and walked to the village. As soon as Hailong finished washing, Yuhua's sister couldn't wait to get into the crowd When Hailong said that she was eighteen, they all wanted to verify her.
Yu Que said: "Little sister, it turns out that you are so young, I was completely wrong. Take a bag of these sweet potatoes and eat them on the way. I'm really sorry, that's all we can give you in Yucun."
Hailong shook his head and said, "No, village chief, I can't have it. I was satisfied with the shower and changed clothes. I have my own way of eating. I don't want these clothes to go to waste, so let me help. Catch fish to eat. With a river like that, why don't you go fishing?"
Yu Que sighed and said: "His brother, I am not afraid of your jokes, we are too poor here, and this is the hinterland. The price of fishing nets is so high that we can not afford it at all. it does not look wide, but the river is wide and swift, and it is difficult to catch fish without a net.”
